Special Track at
The 18th International FLAIRS Conference (FLAIRS-05) on
CONSTRAINT SOLVING AND PROGRAMMING
Held in co-operation
The American Association for Artificial Intelligence
http://www.cs.ucc.ie/~osullb/flairs2005/
_____________________________________________________________________________
Aims and Scope
- --------------
Constraints have emerged as the basis of a representational and
computational
paradigm that draws from many disciplines and can be brought to bear on
many
problem domains. This special track is concerned with all aspects of
computing
with constraints including algorithms, applications, environments,
languages,
models, and systems.
We also solicit papers from any domain employing constraints, including
computational linguistics, configuration, decision support, design,
diagnosis,
graphics, hardware verification, molecular biology, planning, qualitative
reasoning, real-time systems, resource allocation, robotics, scheduling,
software engineering, temporal reasoning, vision, visualization, and user
interfaces.
Papers that bridge disciplines or combine theory and practice or discuss
novel
reasoning methods are especially welcome. Special attention is focused
around
the use of constraint technologies in the networking, wireless and internet
fields.
The FLAIRS general conference will have as invited speakers:
o Martha Pollack, University of Michigan o Lawrence Hunter, University
of Colorado Health Sciences Center o David Stork, Ricoh Innovations and
Stanford University o Ted Senator, DARPA / IPTO
Submissions
- -----------
We invite authors to submit papers on research on constraint solving and
programming, with particular emphasis on assessing the current state of the
art and identifying future directions.
All submissions must be original work. Formatting and submission
instructions
are available from: http://earth.cs.ccsu.edu/~flairs/submission.html
Papers, of sufficiently high quality, will be selected to appear in a
special
issue of the International Journal on Artificial Intelligence Tools
(IJAIT).
Important Dates
